Hi - I've at last been tempted by some of the new mobile offerings...
A friend demo'd his HTC Desire recently
But... looking at the specs and the obvious enthusiasm for the X10 on here
That looks pretty tempting too...
BUT then I got an email from apple about the iPhone 4... Wow
Looks amazing in the apple website... but then it would wouldn't it?
Obviously they won't tell me about the things it won't do so well
BUT - they all look to be great phones - and I have to admit I probably would prefer any of them to my old P1i
So if people can give me a bit of honest appraisal as to pros and cons of these as to which might part me from some hard cash and my P1i
it would be much appreciated!
Thanks

@MyP910, thats not really a reason as I can do pretty much everything I want to do on my iPhone. Also, I also have a Desire but I haven't felt the need to root it yet, but in any case, is rooting any different to jailbreaking to achieve what you want?
@titus1 and others, in discussions like this, lets please give reasons rather than just say the name of one of the choices

@masseur, I'm not talking abt jailbreaking or rooting. Some of the basic functions that you can do easily with open type OS. Simple example, once I exchanged a nice mp3 ringtone from my X10 to my friend Nokia E72 through bluetooth with ease. My other friend who use iphone can only see we doing that as I can't do that to his iphone.
There are a lot of other examples.
Between android and iphone, I don't see any advantage of iphone. Now people can get fully touchscreen android based smartphone for less than 200 euro! I don't see the reason for spending huge amount of money when you can get the same with much more cheaper.

If you think android's UI, sync, and apps are the same as the iphone's you either haven't tested any of them or you suffer from really bad taste.

I think it would really help if you gave us a bit more to work with.
What do you want from your phone? How important are what features? Do you use iTunes? What kind of apps are you interested in? Esato aside, do you "social network"(fb, twitter etc)...
Also, the iPhone 4 isn't out, so no one here knows anything of substance (how long to jailbreak, real battery life, camera performance etc)...
If you want more than start a flamewar, you gotta be more specific, mate
@masseur To say jailbreak and rooting are the same is like saing a driving license and a pilot's license are pretty much the same thing

The ui is same or similar. The apps even though currently less than iphone apps but most of the important and useful apps that you can find on iphome, you can find on android. Synch to me, android is better than iphone.
Abt taste, my taste and expectation is quite high in some extent... that's why I go with X10

htc sync is basic compared to itunes sync
I can't get my outlook notes over, nor my music/podcasts etc.
of course, there are always 3rd party apps though

Forgot to mention this earlier: for what it's worth,, I returned my X10 after 2 days. Reason a) taste. The blue timescape nonsense hurt my senses
b) this may have been o2 f*cking with the fw, but the x10 I owned was so so so slow... I used a Tattoo for a while. Hey,, that little non-snapdragonified devil was faster and more responsive. BUT AGAIN: the x10 I used was o2 branded, so that coulda been their fault. Yes, camera output was definitelty better than the Desire's, and the x10's hardware is nice on the eye, but having said that I wouldn't recommend the X10... I paid a little less for my htc HD2, and in comparison all I can say is, "nice try, SE"
If the Timescape UI appeals to you, do totally ignore all of this.
